Chapter 44: Xie Yanli Did It on Purpose

As a lively melody began to play, a beautiful woman dressed in a black qipao embroidered with intricate patterns gracefully stepped onto the stage. “Ladies and gentlemen, all the donations we raise tonight will be split evenly: half will go towards the education of rural children, and the other half will be dedicated to the rescue of wild animals…”

“Next, we have the first…”

Can Can emerged from the restroom and saw the man sitting at the bedside, waiting for an explanation. Without hesitation, she lunged at him and pinned him beneath her.

In response, Ji Ling fought fiercely, slashing twice with determination, forcing Dian Wei to retreat momentarily. She then swiftly maneuvered her horse and returned to the ranks.

She could feel Qiao Muchen’s breath brushing against her face, making it difficult to evade him at times.

If this affliction could be cured, he was confident he could break through to the fourth realm of the divine within a year.

Beneath the ocean, in the dim and murky light, several underwater probes circled around a dilapidated sunken ship. Following the camera’s view, the audience got a clear look at the vessel’s appearance.

Lü Yao smiled bitterly in his heart, blaming his brothers for not mentioning the male companion. Maintaining a smile for appearances, he greeted, “Hello, hello! Haha, I’ve just come to toast an old classmate.” Raising the cup in both hands, he offered a drink.

At the dining table, Yuyun presented gifts to Mother Zhu and Father Zhu. Mother Zhu received a membership card for a high-end beauty salon in City A, while Father Zhu was given a set of purple clay tea ware. Both elders were delighted.

They understood that Xuan Ming was right. The Wu family was conservative, but the Xuan family had operated in the northern border for many years, deeply rooted with many ties. Especially Xuan Ming, relying solely on Xuan Yu’s testimony, it was truly difficult to convince all the northern factions.

While the others were still stunned, upon hearing the clan leader’s declaration, they began to kneel one by one. Even those who followed Ji Tianming realized the tide had turned, and many came to agree with Ji Xueying’s stance.

Others might not know Huang Zhong, but previously, he was famed as one of Liu Bei’s Five Tiger Generals of Shu, with martial skills rivaling Guan Yu’s.

Previously, Zhou An said he wanted to seek advice and spar a little, not to fight to the death. Of course, Zhou An could also say “fight to the death,” which does not contradict “seeking advice and sparring.” It’s just that the latter does not include mortal combat.

Though teaching those students, he was guiltless; he earnestly delivered every lesson, imparting as much knowledge about massage therapy as he could.

At this moment, they truly felt the profound truth conveyed by that phrase.

Back then, to help the eldest brother gather materials for his arm regeneration, Qin Chuan had dropped a few drops of his martial essence blood, which profoundly influenced the eldest brother.

He knew that since these two men from the Ghost Gate said such things, they must be confident, truly possessing certain information. He also recalled that when they first spoke, they subtly hinted that they knew something.

He Chuan felt dissatisfied and was about to speak but stopped when he met those cold eyes hidden behind gleaming lenses.

After Zi Su finished singing, the stage lights dimmed again. Moments later, colorful lights flashed, and the accompaniment grew more intense as five youths suddenly emerged from the floor.

Kou Dong’er turned decisively, acting as if she had seen nothing, and swiftly exited.

After all, Madam Fan had raised her voice considerably just now. Anyone not deaf could hear, let alone Qin Zhao, who was standing so close.

At the upper seat, Xu Hai’s eyes glinted with a strange light, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth. He clapped his hands and said, “Punishment is over.”

“Baka Yarou! Those damn Chinese really are relentless! How many of them are on the mountain?” Nagata Ryota said angrily.
